Frankenstorm

Everyone but my dad and 1 sister have generators. Some with some w/out electricity. My nephew is on duty dealing with that crane in madhatten.
One has no house, under 10' of water others neighbors tree on new car. Oh well better then their roof, or head.
The interesting aspect is how many areas of the east coast where people were basically ordered to stay off the roads. I understand the need to maintain safety for all plus minimize issues foe emergency and repair vehicles. BUT Ordered to stay indoors vs Common sense and not go out.
OOPS Common sense and humanity, never mind......

It just astounds me some of the comments I read. "I always eat out but I guess I have to learn how to cook since the gas is still on in my apt" Said the man buying pasta and sauce at a market.

"I tried to but some food but the CC machine is not working because the powers out. I went down the street to the ATM and it was not working as well. What am I supposed to do now?"

"People were huddled around outlets charging there phones at a place that had power"

Each time hurricanes would hit in Florida when I lived there, it was always amazing to me that while some had lost their homes and all their belongings, others just received a windfall of new business as a result of the storm (clean-up, reconstruction, etc).

Although many people got hit pretty hard by Sandy, a friend sent me this link with 37 photos & videos of people in Sandy's path that made the most of the ocean conditions:
